its sad to say but this opening is the only good thing to take from that world cup and am not just saying that because england were crap the hole world cup was boring.
The BBC used trounce ITV with their WC and Euro's opening titles, but fair play to ITV, this was far better than the BBC's offering. Just a pity the World Cup it's self was the worst in living memory!
Note to Adidas: Instead of ruining WC's by trying to re-invent the wheel every 4 years, how about you go back to using the perfect "Tango" football for the World Cups from now on?
Then again, why would you, when idiots will happily fork out £80 for a glorified beach ball! Jabulani my arse!
lol why the hate on ronaldo lol ronaldinho was the best in the world but even he said that the one thing that sets apart C.ronaldo and himself was that ronaldo could do his skills at fall pace and ronaldinho couldn't but comeon ronaldo is brilliant what can't he do seriously but nah ronaldinho was a god with his feet bun messi messi learnt from ronaldinho
i remember walking in from college and watching this, "never saw anything like this before??" then of course came south africas goal, mint first day of the world cup
Ronaldinho should have played this world cup it don't matter how shit he is now brazil should have letted ronaldinho go to the world cup cuz to be honest with Ronaldinho at the world cup would be more amazing
@lu1outlaw Learn to spell. Brazil arent going to choose a player that isnt going to perform well for them. Simple as that. They are there to win the world cup, not so Ronaldinho could have a nice holiday in Africa and we could watch him on TV.
LOL wat did i spell wrong u dickhead it is because i said cuz instead of because well listen i don't use school english on here infact no one does so why don't you shut the fuck up your probably the only guy that loves ronaldo you typical bastard go suck his cock every night
what kind of bastard would put that comment up lets seee a person that loves gay ronaldo
@lu1outlaw Dont take it out on me because of your poor knowledge of football. No I dont love Ronaldo...Im the last person who would love Ronaldo. Trust me.
no dickhead wasteman will talk about ronaldinho like that except if your a ronaldo fan so you are a ronaldo fan u pussy go suck his cock like i said and your right i don't no anything about football the only thing i know is how to fuck your mum in the bed
@lu1outlaw Sorry I didnt notice he LU at the beginning of your username. If that stands for Leeds United, I understand why your such a prick. Because they all are. Ronaldo played for Man United, so trust me, I dont like him. I also never spoke about ronaldinho like anything...If you think teams should pick players when they arent playing well then sorry but you dont know much about football. Just been on your account page...you got loads of friends havent you?
I am 15, this is the first world cup I have watched, it seemed alright but a bit dull and slow, can anyone of more experience tell me what you thought of it, are previous world cups better from your experience?
@michaelUNITEDKINGDOM My first world cup that I remember watching on the TV was USA 94 which was a bit dull because there was no England. The first tournament I remember is Euro 96 and nothing will ever beat that in my eyes, especially because I was at Wembley for the quarter final against Spain. Best World Cup I can remember is France 98. Although England went out at the the 2nd round phase, it wasn't met with as much disappointment as their knockouts from the 2002, 2006 and 2010 world cups.
Shame how this was the worst World Cup i've ever seen really, okay Spain and Holland contested the final that was good two different teams who've never won it but in the actual end it wasn't a classic World Cup by far for me 1998,and 2002, are the best ones.
@evolvedtheobserver 2002, was way better than 2006 you must be German or something either that or blind anyway 2002 had an whole array of impressive team performances but how you can say France vs Brazil and Argentina vs England was poor just is way beyond belief tbh and btw this World Cup must have the most emptiest seats i've ever seen in a World Cup.
@resilienceman I'm English and my eyes work perfectly. I didn't say World Cup '98 was poor, I said it was average. There were a few matches that were exceptional but 'a few' out of 64 doesn't make a great World Cup. In 2006 the quality of football was excellent throughout the tournament.
What's the name of the instrumental song that's played after this intro? It's like an instrumental kinda Pop-Rock song , just with a piano, guitars and drums. It sounds like a really song and it's always on during the inside stadium montages.
Its also played after the advert breaks. Any1 no it yet
Anyone got the montage of past world cups that ITV used about 2 minutes into their coverage of the opening ceremony. The music sounds familiar, and I really want to find out what it is!
no world cup has had so much culture and colour...best music too...South Africa and the world has gone far I'm proud to be a human being at this moment
Cinema 4D is the best, it should in a few years be the most used software by 3D professionals, just awesome so easy and the layout is just great. and the link with AE is like it was part of the Adobe family, thanks for that.
@jamiep7 It doesnt sound like it cos i want to know the song that is after the break its got drums and piano in it. its after the adverts not before it
@SheppyCCFC Do you mean the piece of music that is in the background just before the adverts? got a kind of catchy whistle or flute part to it? I'm after the same music lol. It's definitely not the one mentioned by Vusi, that is the main theme music.
Yeh same with Ali74 i want to know the name of the song when ITV are showing the fixtures and tables. They use the song over when they are speaking about upcoming fixtures and i'd like to know the name of the song :)
Anyone know the song the ITV highlights show uses when advertising an upcoming fixture?? Its a recent tune (it was played tonight (Sunday) as the background music when adverising the Holland game tomorrow). Thanks anyone.
imo from euro 2008 onwards, ITV have been much better than BBC at these opening titles - euro 2008 was a massive improvement on their previous efforts, and compared to the bbc one was a masterpiece! Then the eng qualifiers intro was probably the best ive ever seen
I think since ITV have gone with a more 'cultured' approach to their intros (classical music for euro 2008, showing key english places for qualifiers and this for 2010), they have been way ahead of anything the BBC could come up with!
ITV have definitely upped their game this year in terms of presentation for this year's World Cup, a great opening sequence compared to 2006 and looks like they've actually spent a bit of money on their studio set too, and I like Adrian Chiles as a presenter.
Usually the BBC are miles ahead, but this time round I think both are really good. ITV show classic images from past World Cups, but BBC credits just shows current players so for me the ITV one just edges it.
Not the best World Cup tournament but one of my all time fave World Cup theme tunes/sequences.
